1. ING – The Next Rembrandt (by JWT)

“ING and its agency J. Walter Thompson Amsterdam dared to mix data, science and art in the same project, and that only deserves to be saluted, but even better, the technology they developed is now used to restore masterpieces. Huge results and an eternal contribution to the art world.”

2. Fruits and Wine – The Picnic Blanket Billboard (by Rosapark Paris)

3. Burger King – McWhopper (by Y&R New York)

“Probably obvious but how not pick this one? A stroke of genius from Burger King and its agency Y&R, which results were vastly up to the bravery. Quite the bold move and not only because McDonald’s could have said yes. Only one regret, I’ll never get to taste a McWhopper.”

5. Kit Kat – Massage Billboard (by JWT Colombia)
